An inconveniant truth

‘An inconvenient truth’ is a documentary like film by Vice President of the United State in his campaign to educate citizens on a global scale about global warming and the effects it has on earth. The movie was released in 2006 and still continues to be used as reference for many climate change warnings.

Al Gore uses means of a slide show to bring across his message. In the movie he emphasizes that the rapid climate change issue is more a moral issue than it is political. The creators of the film are attempting to communicate the drastic effects climate change would have on the environment and by doing so they hope to achieve changing the way people view things and become more involved and environmentally aware of what is happening around us.

As we all contribute to Global warming, corporate companies have contributed their fair share. I like that Al uses snippets from famous cartoons to bring about a humorous side even though this is such a serious matter. He makes an example of Polar bears that’s mortality rate seems to be increasing way too fast. By the drastic climate change, sea levels are rising and at the rate it is now, has the potential to cover cities one at a time. Its our responsibility to take care of our planet. The main of the movie is to be an eye0opener and hopefully get people to adopt ‘greener’ habits.

Although the seriousness of the matter is evident, Al still remains hopeful for the future. He ends his presentation with ways in which we can help the environment. This is an important stage. He beautifully stated “what we take for granted might not be here for our children”.
